Two Weeks Old!

WOW!! I have a 2 week old already. He is such a good baby! He is so mellow and good-natured. Seriously, the only time we have heard him cry is when he is hungry and he stops as soon as I nurse him. Nolan is a fabulous eater! He is gaining weight like crazy, he was back to his birth weight in less than a week (from leaving the hospital). He eats about every 2 1/2 to 3 hours during the day and about every 4 hours or so during the night time. I have been waking up 1 to 2 times at night to feed him and he falls back to sleep quickly after each feeding. (Yes, I am lucky) He is already on his own little schedule (for right now that is, I've learned babies can change schedules on you easily, or at least Alivia did... always when I was getting used to it too.) He is awake when Ben gets home from work about 7:15ish until 9:00ish (or later) then sleeps til 1:00 or 2:00ish for his first feeding. He has done this for about a week, so I'm thinking he will continue this pattern for a while more or at least I hope so. We are part-time co-sleeping, depending on how I feel when he wakes up for a feeding. The last few nights even though he has slept great, I have not. So, Nolan starts out in the bassinet and then ends up sleeping with us for the remainder of the night after his first feeding. He is starting to have more wake time and is such a serious little man! It seems as though he concentrates so hard as to what people are saying. He's a keeper! haha :)
